Link Development Network Promises Thousands of Links Overnight

Is this Ok? Or Will it Burn my Website?

[The Combsinator]

I just stumbled across <snip> I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links to outgoing sites so I won't. I'm assuming a lot of you guys are familiar with this though.

I found the link left on another board so I wasn't sure if it was a reliable program, though I have placed the java on my page.

It promises your link will find itself on thousands of pages overnight. While I don't expect those kinds of numbers..any extra linkage is nice.

The other thing that concerned me is that its a javascript code people are puttin on their page to show the link. I thought I heard that SE's don't pick up your pink if its in Javascript? I may be mistaken as I am very new on to this scene.

Thanks for any info.

Dont do it.

[benevolent001]

STAY AWAY FROM them

Its better to have no links then to have bad links

[zulufox]

Stay well away.

More and more google is catching on and blacklisted every sites on LDNs.

Also a heavy influx of links in one spidering session would set off the radar alert. Build links slower and they will be more of a benifit for you.

Take care,

Google is spanking sites that get too many links too quickly, especially with the same anchor text. I would stay away form this company.

Google will bury you in an unmarked grave.

What about the other Search Engines? How do they view a sudden influx of links?

>>>What about the other Search Engines?

Good point. To many webmasters I speak with, MSN and Yahoo are the new black. Google doesn't come into the conversation as much as it used to.

When you get edgy with your marketing just be prepared to burn your domain and have others ready to take its place.

[Pico_Train]

For Google don't do it. For Yahoo and MSN, I don't know but given that Google still accounts for more thatn 75% of my traffic, don't do it.

[webhound]

Yup, I've seen it first hand with both MSN and Yahoo. DO NOT have your back links shoot up substancially over night. Think about how links happen in the real world. Slowly over time. Thats what all engines wanna see.

[jaffstar]

I was also tempted :P

The bottom line, don't do it, there are NO shortcuts, you will get burnt.

[winmorgan]

Not a good idea. Spend the time you would waste on pursuing this to identify and send an email to one other Web site who you would really like to link to you.

If it looks too good to be true (in SEO) then it most CERTAINLY is. The only SURE way of getting thousands of links is to build a content intensive site that is full of really helpful information that is either not found anywhere else or not found all in one place any where else. And then you have to promote it and ask people nicely for the links. I think the quote from the Matrix instead of "there is no spoon" should be "there is no magic bullet."
